I need opinions on the Zen V Plus 2GB MP3 Video Pla

Im thinking about getting one for my birthday. Any opinons?

Bacon, You should read some of the posts about connectivity issues before you invest in this. I'm having a huge problem that seeminly can't be solved, and if you start looking through forum posts over the last week you'll see A LOT of people are having the same problem. In my case, the Zen worked great for about 6 weeks; then, all of a sudden, halfway through ripping a CD the software stopped recognizing the player. The player says it's docked; the computer says the players connected, but the software to run the thing says it's NOT connected, although it clearly is. I've tried everything under the sun; I tried the advice listed on this website; I tried the advice of the technicians at Creative; nothing works, and I'm taking my player back to the store today after work. I really liked it for the first six weeks I had it, but now it's useless and I'm not alone in that. Just read the forums.....there are a lot of us having this same problem.

BIG problem with zen v plus 2gb mp3 player HE

i just brought my zen v plus today for 83 gbp i was scrolling through the radio channels and it decides to freeze on me i cant take it back because it was at abu dhabi airport any know how to sort the problem out? contact me on +44792328937 or post on here. thankyou

Hey. Have you tried resetting the player. Under the power switch, there is a tiny hole. Use a pin or paperclip to gently push in. The player should turn off, and rebuild its library when turned on again. You should also upgrade your firmware, available here. Just click on support, and go to downloads.

Creative Zen Stone Plus 2GB vs. Zen V plus

Hi. I recently had my Zen Micro just freeze and die after 8 months. I lost ,600 songs. I am now interested in purchasing a flash mp3 for working out and commuting. I've heard good things aobut the Zen Stone Plus and the Zen V plus. Can anybody give me any adivice on deciding between the two? Thanks!

You will see that it received quite a good ratings from some of the experts who tested it. And lastly, the reviews are conveniently located because you can accessed them from one place.

I can't install the Zen nano Plus software on my pc. He

Hi,I've read some people have the same problem I do, but no solutuion. When I try to install the zen nano plus cd that came in the package, it comes up with a window saying : "the windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product". The nano plus is supposed to work with windows ME which I have?and I think I meet all the other requirements. Could they have mislabeled a cd?I tried installing it with the antivirus turned off with ca antivirus. Thanks for any help,Joe?

I just went to the page?http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&x=29&y=6and downloaded the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 file after filling all the info out in the drop down menus. I just installed it and I was good to go. The only issue I really had was installing the application from the CD which I mentioned earlier.But the application from the website installed with no problem whatsoever. I wish I could tell you something that would help as I know your frustration.Are you sure you downloaded the correct version for ME?You might ask someone if you really need this application to put music on you device because it seems like your device just acts like another dri've and you can just drag and drop into your device. I'm not sure about that so ask st so it doesn't mess up you player.or you might be able to use some other apllication to transfer your files to the player?Good luck and be persistent,JoeMessage Edited by joenanoplus on 2-26-200608:3 AM

Will Zencast Organiser support the Zen Nano Plus in the futu

I would like to know whether a future release of Zencast Organiser will support the Zen Nano Plus and similar players in Zencast Transfer. Or is this only possible for MTP players?Also items from a particular channel need to be played back on players?(normal play mode) by date (oldest first) and not alphanumerically by file name, or at least for this option to be introduced. I like to hear my podcasts in date order. Surely this makes sense and wouldn't be too difficult to introduce into Zencast transfer?

I have the same problem with my Zen Nano Plus gb player, only it shows up under "Other Devices"

When's the Zen V Plus 8GB out in the

My mp3 player (zen micro) is broken. Properly properly broken, and I'd like to replace it. The player I've got my eye on is the Zen V plus, but 4gb isn't really enough. I'm in the UK, and I'd be very interested to hear when the 8gb version is due out here. Any ideas?Thanks. -Emma

96 kbps? If you want good sound and are using high quality headphones I would suggest using 256 kb
ps.
I use 256 kbps mp3 on my mp3 player. I tried 320 kbps and could not hear a difference between it and 256 kbps on my mp3 player. I could hear the difference between 92 kbps and 256 kb
ps.
I don't use WMA since WMA uses more battery power and gives you less run time per charge. It isn't a contest to see how many songs can be crammed into the player, but it is instead about enjoying the music. What good is having hundreds of hours of music crammed into a player if the battery life is 5 hours or less?

Can the Zen Stone Plus coexist with iTun

I am a runner and I am interested in the Zen Stone Plus. I use iTunes and various iPods. How would the Zen software coexist with iTunes.
Most of the music in my library is from?my own CD's?and not from the iTunes Store. Thank you. Bob Michiel?

Yes, the softwares can co-exists with each other. However the iTunes would not work with the Zen Stone Plus.

Need help with using Zen V Plus in a

I have a Zen V plus 2GB and I'd like to use it in my car with a FM transmitter/charger combination. The one I bought says it works with Creative zen MP3 players, but will not charge the player even though it has a USB with 5 VDC as output. It does play the player through the FM reciever just fine. I also noticed that I can only charge the player through the very same USB port on my computer where I first connected it when I was setting it up. Any other of the USB ports will not charge the player. Does this have something to do with this problem?

Hello al9spike,
Welcome to Creative forums!
I'm not sure when you said "reset and play while plugged in" is the same as resetting the device by inserting a paper clip in the reset hole while plugged in. If not, then you can try this. There is a also a similar thread here with the same problem your experiencing right now. Maybe this could help you. Otherwise, if the unit is still not turning on, I suggest you contact support for further assistance.
Best of luck,

***Best Bit Rate To Use For The Zen V Plus 8GB

I've got the zen v plus (8gb) and I was just wondering what is the best bit rate to use, I've currently got ,32 tracks at "64kbps wma" on my zen micro(6gb) and I'm getting a bit tempted to enhance the quality of the tracks (to maybe 96kbps wma), but I don't want the space on my 8gb v plus to be consumed quickly.
Thanx if anyone could give me any ideas

Is the Creative Zen Muvo V100 2gb mp3 player go

Well yeah I had a Rio Ce200 and 2 months after I got it something came on the screen that said upgrader on it and it never goes to the menu,just stays like that...
Found out later on a forum there were about 00-50 topics with people complaining of the same problem.
Company went out of buisness and I had a 90 day warrenty..sucks to be me.
Thinking about getting one.
A few questions...
.How is the sound quality compared to higher end mp3 players(Creatives,Rio's, Sony, etc....)
2.How is the warrenty, lets say it breaks in 6-2 months, will they send me a new one?
3.How is music organization handled? I used Mediamonkey on my old mp3 player.
4. Is it durable?
5. Does it has a sd card memory expansion slot?Message Edited by dbzzx on 0-29-200704:3 PM
Please anyone? I really need help...Message Edited by dbzzx on 0-29-200707:23 PM

I've had one for about a week, so no long term experience here. My only other experience is with the Muvo Micro N200 (same as the Zen Nano Plus, just a different name) and the Zen Micro. For my main uses (jogging, dancing) it's great. To answer your questions:. Sound quality is great, as?good as the Micro. With higher bitrate files (96+) and good earbuds, you can get excellent sound.2. I don't have the?warranty in front of me, so don't know?what it is. Got mine for $34, so not too worried about this.3. Music is organized by albums in folders, three?preassigned folders (A, B, and C) and the root folder.
You put albums in?whatever folder you choose, pretty easy to use for me.4. Durable? After one week it'sis, too soon to know for sure.
You unplug part of the unit from itself in order to plug it directly into USB port on computer, this seems like?a potential weak link, but?people who've had it'sfor a while say it hasn't been a problem. The design is very similar to my Muvo Micro?N200, which has been very durable. On Amazon one person describes running it through their washer and dryer, it still worked.5. No expansion slot. I'd suggest going to Amazon?and read reviews there, I think they'll be better balanced than anything you might read here. People who are unhappy with their player tend to show up here looking for answers, the people who are happy with it'sseem to silently enjoy it rather than log on here?just to praise it.

Problem with my brand new mp3 player Zen Stone Plus 2GB ( with built in speaker )

Hi .
I have purchased the following Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker on 24.06.2008.
From day one, it had a charging problem . Initial charging it'snever go beyond 87%.
After using it for 2 days, at the time of recharging , I found my player won`t get dectected in my PC .
I took the set to the vendor for a checkup . He tried to solve it by resetting , formating etc. But he could only able to to format it's sacrificing its 50% of its allocated space.
My vendor then changed the set with a brand new one, againts that faulty one .
Now the new one worked well for 3 - 4 days , but it is now totally dead .
But the set did not give any indication before it become completely dead.
A few dust particles inside the LCD screen was also observed. I can`t understand how come dust particles can enter inside
a player which is sealed box pack .
Next issue is with the battery which CREATIVE promised of giving a backup of approx 20 hrs of continious playback , which with minimal scuffling and with minimal settings lasted for 0 hrs approx ( 50% less than promised ).
Another thing that i must state is the problem of FM Reception . It is simply terrible . In the same area where my mobile's FM reception is fine , Zen Stone's FM failed to give any reception .
I came to know about Zen Stone Plus from of my friend , who is using Zen Stone Plus GB without any problem for long time.
Pls tell me what to do now, since my player is compleately out of order now , and pls suggest me something regarding the issue of battery backup , FM reception ... etc.
Now i am in a total mess . I just dont know what to do with the set that is few days old .
Pls help urgently .
Waiting for any valued suggestion .
Bye ...

Zen V Plus 2gb - Space prob

Hello guys,
Saturday I bought a Zen V Plus 2gb and I installed the software, loaded my Zen and tried to fill it with music.
But suddenly (by about 800mb ~ 80 songs) my Zen froze. I used the reset button and tried to fill it again. My 80 songs were still on it. But my computer didn't recognized it anymore. So I formated my Zen and I upgraded it with new firmware.
Then I filled it again - and it froze again at 800mb and my pc couldn't recognize it anymore, too.
I don't think that it is normal. What can I do? My Zen got 2gb free space but I only can use about 2/5 of it because it freezes. There is no notification like "The disc space is full", it just freezes and I have to format my Zen to use it again.
Without formating I can't fill it with my pc or with the pc of my father. So it can't be a problem of a computer. Even the record function doesn't work. Is my Zen damaged, or is it normal that I can use only 800mb of my 2gb Zen?!
I hope that someone could help me and I excuse me for my bad English :-)
Bye,
Lumpi

The st?8GB Zen V Plus I?bought also had this same problem. It would allow me to add?only about 7GB of music before it would freeze and even cleaning up the links from the recovery mode menu would cause a freeze. I called Creative and told them I had read that someone else in this message board?wrote about?the same problem - a "faulty" flash dri've. Creative said they hadn't heard about it and recommended that I return it to where I bought it from and simply replace it. That's what I did and my 2nd 8GB V Plus has been working great.

Zen v plus 2GB free

<font face="Courier New" size="4" color="#ff3399">My zen v plus 2GB frooze. I reset it and when I turn it back on it freezes agin with in a couple of seconds. wut can i do 2 fix it's

This happened to me on my zen v plus 4GB.
I fixed it by resetting and then starting in recovery mode and choosing the "clean up" option. To do this, reset your zen through the pinhole. Then hold down the play button while turning the player on. When you see the creative logo on the screen, release the play button.
A recovery mode menu should then appear. Choose "clean up". That's what worked for me. "Clean up" doesn't delete anything from your player, but the format option will. Also, definitely don't choose "reload firmware" unless you have a copy of the firmware on your computer!
See:

for more details.
Hope this helps!

My zen stone plus 2Gb not starting

recently it started giving problems. It dint start up and when i connected to my computer it is asking me to format the dri've when i try to open it..and when i click to format..it says it cant format and then the dri've vanishes from My Compute.
I took to the service centre..tht guy he said he updated the firmware..i came bak ad connected it to my pc to charge...my winamp detected it as an mp3 player and asked me to synchronize which i cancelled..
open the dri've...then when i tried to delete the files...same prob started again!!!
now the dri've doesnt even show up in My Computer..
wat to do?

Moniushko,
Looks like something is wrong with the device, I would get in touch with support if I were you.

Does anyone know how long the warranties on the Zen Nana Plus' are good f

Yesterday my Nano Plus stopped powering on and shortly before that the player would just cut off for no reason. I've only had the unit for about 6 or 7 months but I no longer have the sales receipt, does anyone know if I can still return it to Creative for a replacement? Or does the warranty not cover that kind of thing?

I assume you dont mean Nano Plus, as Nano is iPod... It's a Zen V Plus, probably?Anyway, I believe you should have at least a year's warranty on the player, so if you get in touch with Creative Tech Support they should be able to give you an RMA to send it back and either repair or replace it at no cost. I assume someone from Creative will come on later to confirm, deny or amend this. TH?

I need opinions on the Zen V Plus 2GB MP3 Video Pla
